Is an asphalt or concrete driveway better?

• <div><p>Asphalt can get sticky in high temperatures and intense sunlight and is better for cooler or moderate climates, while concrete is more likely to crack in colder climates where water can seep into the slab and freeze. Asphalt requires more maintenance in terms of sealing, it has a slightly shorter lifespan, on average, and it’s a bit more expensive to install. Concrete will last longer with less maintenance, and it offers you more options for customization, including staining and stamped patterns. As such, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-concrete-driveway-increase-home-value.htm">concrete driveway adds to home value</a> more than an asphalt driveway in many cases. </p></div>

What is the downside of concrete countertops?

• <div><p>Whether you make concrete countertops yourself or hire a pro, they’re not the most budget-friendly surface options, and because they’re porous, they require regular resealing. Another <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-concrete-countertops.htm">con of concrete countertops</a> is that they’re heavy, meaning additional reinforcing support is sometimes necessary to protect your cabinets and possibly even your floors.</p></div>

What are the disadvantages of a concrete house?

• <div><p>Concrete houses cost 10% to 20% more to build than stick-built homes, and maintenance on home systems is more invasive and expensive due to pipes and wires being buried in concrete. Concrete homes can also look more industrial and less comfortable if you don’t cover the concrete with finishing materials. It’s also more challenging to make changes to concrete, so reframing doors and windows or building home additions will cost more. Concrete needs time to cure, too, so the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-build-house.htm">timeline to build a house</a> out of concrete is a bit longer.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable cement driveway contractor?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to protect your investment in your project by hiring a reputable contractor. First, make sure they&rsquo;re insured and with a licensed company. Get referrals by asking friends and neighbors who were happy with their finished products. </p><p>While you may initially think it&rsquo;s more affordable to use an independent contractor or friend of a friend, you might benefit in the long run from working with an experienced contractor who can take the job entirely off your hands. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-concrete-driveway-contractor.htm">Hiring a concrete driveway contractor</a> takes a bit of up-front research.</p></div>

Q: Can I mix and pour concrete myself?

While you may initially think it’s more affordable to use an independent contractor or friend of a friend, you might benefit in the long run from working with an experienced contractor who can take the job entirely off your hands. Hiring a concrete driveway contractor takes a bit of up-front research.
